but that STILL does not give us the right to say to other people... YOU are going to hell. isnt that against our whole religion? you are supposed to NOT judge people right? or is this one of those things that is... "outdated?"

act in the way Jesus would want all Christians to act? Would any of you who are Christians be able to act in such a peaceful manner?

Does Jesus want us to turn the other cheek...or seek retribution?

Scientists haven't yet proven the Jews were ever in Egypt...and their escape is a cornerstone of Judaism and Christianity. Ditto for the existence of King David. Don't even mention the Flood or the Tower of Babel. Disappointing, isn't it?

I work in house keeping at a nursing home, and i had just worked last night and for the first time i was passing out cloths (putting residents cloths in their closets) and in the process this elder man walks up to me...
At my job ive really been having problems, i was hired without orientation, so i wasnt informed on safty precaution issues, wasnt getting paid enough etc...etc...
Well anyway, this elder man walks up to me and says..." dont let them use you as an instrument, you work really hard" and then he said "i love you" lol... Now keep in mind that i have never in my life seen this guy before, and yes i know that there are some patients/residents that my not be in their right mind, but do you think that it was god that could have been speaking through him trying to tell me somthing??? because i have been lacking on praying/reading the bible, and since ive been working there they had me working every sat. and sun. (i usually go to church on saturdays) i havnt been to church

is because you don't have faith.

you need to ask the unicorn into your heart, and then he will show himself to be true. but this will only work of you are sincere when you ask him. you need to have faith.

faith - Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence is not something that should be encouraged.

why are people proud of the fact that they sometimes arise at beliefs without a logical reason to do so?

and why do you hide? What will happen if you step out and face the truth about yourself (whatever that is)? Are you afraid of the responsibility of living an authentic life?

I asked the following question "Isn't gift giving in Eid (to children especially) an adaptation of the Christmas ritual?" about five or six days ago. Someone reported it today because he/she did not like it.
This is how things go in this section for some people, if they don't like the question, they report it!

Can I know how it was offensive?
Why it was reported?

When people do it all the time.

I changed mine from a deep, sincere Christianity to atheism.

When the evidence is shown to prove that your religion is faulty or completely wrong, isn't it delusion to not change?

If I believed that the Earth were flat and I went up in a space shuttle and saw, first hand that it was spherical, it would be incumbent upon me to change my belief, would it not?

As religion becomes more and more unreasonable in the face of science and reason, should people who say that they would NEVER change their beliefs, be thought of as unreasonable people?

The fullness of my question is, why should I consider your message without examinable evidence, without also accepting the message of astrology without examinable evidence? or Buddhism? or Taoism? Hinduism? Islam?

Can't you see you are just one item in the supermarket of ideas, no different from any of the other shiny packages of nothing? So far, your televengelists and pedophile priests and inquisitions and pre-emptive wars have given me little incentive to "buy".

In philosophy, materialism is a form of physicalism which holds that the only thing that can be truly proven to exist is matter. Fundamentally, all things are composed of material and all phenomena are the result of material interactions; therefore, matter is the only substance. (wikipedia.com)
